The idea that the Kremlin is "hacking the West" to further its goals is well established, but this process is not all one-way. As YouTuber Sarcasmitron points out, the conspiracy theories the Kremlin deploys in the West (George Soros NGOs, Bill Gates sterilization, Colour Revolutions, etc) grew out of an earlier American lunatic fringe (Lyndon LaRouche, Frederick William Engdahl, etc.) that predates Putinism. The Kremlin, it seems, has itself been hacked by the trash content it has been pushing for the last ten years.
